bsr OF those In the audience were country
people, who had probably never before seen
the greatly abused drama Tue performance
was much better than that usually given by
the majority Of com panies and the play was
fairly dona one Of the best features wss the
singing Of quartette Of colored men. One
Of the pair wss . member Of Col. Burton's
minstrela which had such . short but
disastrous season.
During the evening there was quite .
lively scene In the box otfice. f. J. Holland,
manager Of the company, - George Harris,
had just escaped from band OF pursuers on
thessaGe and IVES supposedto be In Canada but
he suddenly made his appearance In front OF
the house, where he met with an adventure
far more realistic than his experience on
the stage He found that James Crothers,
bill poster ct Columbia had attached the re-
ceipts Of the evening performance for money
due him. ltsppeared that Holland was in
Columbia about . week ago, and being In
hard luck was unable to pay Crothers . bal.
snce Of between 81 and 6 for bill posting, &c
He promised to send the man the money, but
failed to do Do On Saturday Crothers came
to Lancaster, and had an attachment issued
by Alderman Deem. Ofacers Weaver and
Beachlsr took the matter in charge, and
seized the receipts After Holland found
what was wrong he raved and stormed for .
time He said that he had been In hard luck
for some time, and It seemed that everything
was going against him, and every body was
trying to "do him up" because he was un.
fortunate.
Tho Columbia man was matter-of.fact sort
Of fellow, and thought that mon without
money should not take shows on the road.
The matter wss finally compromised by Hol.
land paying the amount OF the bill and half
tie costs and Crothers the other halt
THE TROUPE pIsBANps.
This morning the company went the same
road that many have gone before High
railroad fares, bad business, &c, were too
much for them and Manager Holland con-
cluded to disbsnd. Yesterday he sent bis
vile away on an eastern bound train and
several others Of the party left at different
times. The company stopped at the Grape
hotel where two men, . lady and little girl,
four jubilee Singers and two dogs yet re-
main. Holland had no money to Jay salaries
but told the members OF the company that he
would send 1t to them from New York. One
OF the colored singers managed to get watch
out Of him. Holland Paid the greater part
Of the hotel bill for the members OF the com.
psny. He tried to get out OF town on the
o'clock train this morning without paying
his own bill Joe McEvoy, one Of the
